“I always say the truth is best even when we find it unpleasant. Any rat in a sewer can lie. It's how rats are. It's what makes them rats. But a human doesn't run and hide in dark places, because he's something more. Lying is the most personal act of cowardice there is.”
― Nancy Farmer, The House of the Scorpion

“No. It's actually not okay. And I hate when people say that, when they say it's okay even though it's not. It's better to tell the truth.”
― Nancy Werlin, The Rules of Survival

“The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones.”
― Cheryl Hughes

“Never hide things from hardcore thinkers. They get more aggravated, more provoked by confusion than the most painful truths.”
― Criss Jami
